Jesse Lingard striving for consistency in 2021 22 season

“We had a lot of in-house staff we needed to work on with the analysis stuff and, of course, the whiteboards,” he added. “Those were some individual goals of mine that I liked to set before I went there.

“At the time, it [one goal] was obviously to make the March internationals [with England]. Goals, assists, take-ons, shots. To be productive in each game and to keep that consistency.

“The consistency is definitely a main thing. When you’re playing regular football, you’ve got to keep that consistency and keep scoring, or try and affect the game in a different way if you don’t score or assist.”
